Thanks for being detailed about your concern, @jdriver.
Allow me to chime in and provide some insights on how billable expenses in QuickBooks Online (QBO) works.
In QBO, all information from a billable expense transaction will be displayed once added to the invoice. The option to hide and consolidate them to a single line item is unavailable. As a workaround, you can consider using a third-party application to achieve this feature. In the App Store, you'll find apps that integrate with QBO. Let me guide you how:
- Head to the QuickBooks App Store.
- From the search box, enter any keyword.
- Then, press the Enter key on your keyboard.
- You can also use the Categories section.
The program is also designed to mark billable expenses as billed when it is added to the invoice. If you need to mark them as billed without linking them to an invoice, you may also want to use a third-party app.
Monitoring and tracking your project’s profitability in QBO is a breeze. For the detailed steps and how it is done, check out this article: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online.
